Hi, I’m Rob — creator of ResearchWize
I built ResearchWize to help students and professionals read less but learn more. It started as a simple side‑panel summarizer and has grown into a full study toolkit: customizable summaries, flashcards, quizzes, essay outlines, PowerPoint exports, and live AI chat.
I’m Rob — the founder of ResearchWize and the author behind all the daily blog posts. I’m also a lifelong tinkerer, tech enthusiast, and proud hockey dad.
Based in Ancaster, Ontario, I’m a father of four who’s spent years watching how much time students — including my own kids — pour into schoolwork. It made me realize just how powerful AI could be in making learning more efficient, focused, and less overwhelming.
I see AI the way people once saw calculators — misunderstood at first, but destined to become essential. Teachers used to say, “You won’t always have a calculator in your pocket.” Now we all do. I believe AI is the next leap forward — a tool that should be embraced to help students work smarter, not harder.
I built ResearchWize to give students a practical edge. It summarizes long articles, drafts outlines, creates flashcards and quizzes, and organizes everything — while keeping data local and private. It’s the study assistant I wish existed when I was in school.
When I’m not refining features or testing updates, you’ll find me in the garden, fine-tuning my home server, or cheering at a hockey rink.
Thanks for stopping by — and welcome to ResearchWize.
